That's the question we asked attendees at this year's Velo-city Conference, organized by the European Cyclists' Federation and held in the Italian city of Rimini. Lots of mayors and elected officials and even advocates talk a lot of what cities should do for cycling, but making it easier for people to cycle in a city unlocks a host of benefits, even for people who will never get on a bike. Hear what people from places around the world—including Mozambique, India, Switzerland, France, and the U.S.—think about the power of the humble bicycle to transform streets, society, and our planet.

Somali piracy is rising again. The buccaneers capitalize on security gaps, targeting cargo ships and demanding multi-million dollar ransoms. On Sunday, nine people were reportedly killed in a drone strike on a small boat off the coast of Somalia, in a series of attacks linked to the hijacking of a Cameroon-flagged vessel. And in Mozambique, a simple paper appointment book is helping tackle long clinic queues hoping to bring healthcare services closer to pregnant women Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba, Carolyne Kiambo and Blessing Aderogba Senior Producer: Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: David Nzau Editors: Daniel Dadzie and Maryam Abdalla

African forests are vital for food and economic development, as well as for supporting millions of species of animals and plants. We find out how to protect them better with one of Africa's top environmentalists! From the giant Congo rainforest to the Kenyan highlands and the mangroves of Mozambique, Africa's forests are some of the most spectacular places on Earth. And these sensitive ecosystems are not just important for Africa: they play a vital role in the global climate because they store huge amounts of carbon dioxide and pump out oxygen. Kenyan environmentalist Wanjira Mathai has been campaigning to protect and nurture forests for decades. She tells The Climate Question about the challenges they now face across Africa from rapid urbanisation, mining and logging. The solution, according to Wanjira, is to place a proper economic value on the environmental services provided by forests and the communities who live in them – whether that's supplying water and food, or helping to prevent floods sweeping through cities such as Nairobi. Wanjira Mathai is Managing Director, Africa and Global Partnerships at the World Resources Institute. She's been chatting to The Climate Question host Jordan Dunbar and BBC Senior Climate Reporter Esme Stallard. Got a question for The Climate Question?

John sits down with Mike Arnold (author of Bringing Back the Lions and Bringing Back the Wild, biologist, and host of the Bringing Back the Wild podcast) for a deep dive into one of the more specialized pursuits in African hunting: the Tiny Ten. Mike shares the full story of how his very first African animal — a Vaal Rhebok in the Great Karoo — launched a multi-country quest that eventually produced eleven of these pygmy antelope. He walks through the hunts for Vaal Rhebok, Bush Duiker, Klipspringer, Cape Grysbok, Steenbok, Damara Dik-Dik, Blue Duiker, Red Duiker, Suni, Oribi, and Red-Flanked Duiker across South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, and Cameroon. They discuss the specialized habitats and tactics required, the surprisingly effective use of varmint calls on some species, the best cartridges for animals that can weigh under 20 pounds (from .22 Hornet to .375), the challenges of shot placement and taxidermy, SCI scoring realities, and why these little antelope are often more difficult and rewarding than many larger plains-game species. Mike also puts on his biologist hat to explain how so many tiny antelope have thrived in a predator-rich landscape, the heavy bushmeat pressure they face, and the conservation role of places like Zambezi Delta Safaris. Whether you've already taken a couple of the Tiny Ten or you're just curious about this specialized side of African hunting, this episode delivers both great stories and practical insight.

Recorded at the AIDS 2026 conference in Rio de Janeiro, Ben and Dr. mike Reid discuss how climate disruption will exacerbate existing infectious diseases, enable emerging threats, and worsen non-infectious conditions, arguing global health must anticipate and mitigate climate-health impacts. They note health was sidelined at COP Egypt 2025 and that few national climate plans include health adaptation budgets. Case studies contrast Pakistan's 2022 floods—2.6 million new malaria cases, fivefold dengue increase, and 20% of primary care facilities underwater—with Mozambique's Cyclone Idai response, where PEPFAR-supported HIV infrastructure enabled faster recovery through reliable supply chains, information systems, energy backups, and workforce support. They emphasize integrated, resilient primary care and scaled community health workforces (e.g., Ethiopia), including community-delivered mental health care, amid shrinking donor support. mike explains applying Kate Raworth's “donut economics” to climate-health financing, referencing the Bridgetown Initiative and proposing climate-health bonds, while also highlighting greener delivery, regional manufacturing, and lower-emission prevention tools like lenacapavir and cabotegravir. 00:00 Live from Rio 00:52 Climate-Driven Disease 03:26 Health Plans Missing 05:31 Resilient Systems 06:10 Pakistan Flood Case 08:00 Mozambique Cyclone Ida 11:35 Primary Care Backbone 12:27 Community Health Workforce 14:22 Conference Funding Shift 17:09 Donut Economics Explained 20:55 Cameroon Donut Priorities 22:25 Why Leaders Ignore Health 23:32 Financing Climate Health 29:57 Sustainable Global Health 32:09 One Key Investment 33:34 Rio Networking Surprise 35:02 Wrap-Up and Credits Learn more about the book: https://bit.ly/redefining-global-health More from UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences: https://globalhealthsciences.ucsf.edu Check Out mike Reid's Substack: https://substack.com/@reimaginingglobalhealth Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

Delegates from across Africa have gathered at Rhodes University in Makhanda for a two-day symposium marking 40 years since the death of Mozambique's founding president, Samora Machel. Under the theme Aluta Continua: Samora Machel, Liberation Movements and the Unfinished Decolonial Project, The symposium by Rhodes University brings together the Machel family, liberation veterans, scholars, artists and young people to reflect on Africa's unfinished liberation journey and decolonial future. Sakina Kamwendo Professor Bheki Moyo Chair, of African Centre for Memory & Imagination

Forty years after the death of Mozambique's founding president and liberation icon Samora Machel, Rhodes University will bring together members of the Machel family, prominent African thinkers and liberation veterans. The two-day symposium will interrogate the contemporary meaning of Machel's ideas around social justice, anti-imperialism, education, cultural liberation, popular participation and Pan-African solidarity — and what these principles mean for the continent today. Jon Gericke spoke to Professor Siphokazi Magadla, Dean for the Faculty of Humanities at Rhodes University

Au Mozambique, 1,4 tonne de fentanyl dissimulée dans des flacons de cosmétiques ont été saisis à l'aéroport de Maputo. Cette drogue de synthèse était partie de Campinas, dans l'État de Sao Paulo, au Brésil, et avait fait escale à Luanda, en Angola. Ce coup de filet intervient deux mois après une autre saisie de 3,7 tonnes dans ce même aéroport. Les enquêteurs se demandent si ces deux saisies pourraient révéler la mise en place d'une nouvelle route pour les drogues de synthèse. Stéphane Quéré, enseignant en criminologie au Conservatoire national des arts et métiers CNAM, animateur du site spécialisé crimorg.com, est l'invité de RFI.

¡Atención al mundo! Hoy se juega uno de los partidos más esperados del Mundial:Portugal contra España. Un derbi ibérico cargado de historia, rivalidad y orgullo. Y en nuestro campo literario, traemos un duelo de gigantesque duele, que cuestiona y que golpea sin piedad las estructuras del poder, la decadencia y la opresión. Por Portugal, la obra maestra de Lídia Jorge: “La costa delos murmullos”. Por España, la cumbre del naturalismo de Emilia Pardo Bazán:“Los pazos de Ulloa”. Dos novelas brutales. Dos retratos sin maquillaje desociedades enfermas. Lídia Jorge, con una maestría narrativa deslumbrante y unapolifonía implacable, desmonta la guerra colonial portuguesa en Mozambique. A través de Eva Lopo, la novela expone la podredumbre moral del imperio que se derrumba, el absurdo de la guerra, la hipocresía oficial y el silencio cómplice. “La costa de los murmullos” no solo es una de las grandes novelassobre la guerra colonial africana, sino un ajuste de cuentas histórico que Portugal tardó décadas en digerir. Es un libro que murmura verdades incómodas y que sigue estremeciendo. Emilia Pardo Bazán, por su parte, levanta un monumento decrudeza y genio con “Los pazos de Ulloa”. Publicada en 1886, esta novela es el retrato más salvaje de la Galicia rural del siglo XIX: caciquismo, violencia, degeneración de la nobleza, brutalidad machista y una aristocracia embrutecidapor el poder y el aislamiento. Pardo Bazán, una de las primeras feministas de la literatura europea, expone sin piedad la opresión de la mujer, la miseria moral de los poderosos y la ferocidad de un mundo rural dominado por instintosprimarios. Es naturalismo en estado puro, pero con una mirada profundamente femenina y crítica. Una desmonta el colonialismo y sus mentiras desde la voz delas mujeres. La otra desentraña la decadencia interna de un país, su machismo estructural y su violencia endémica. Portugal y España. Dos literaturas, dos miradas ferocessobre el poder, la decadencia y la dominación. Dos autoras que no tuvieron miedo de señalar las heridas abiertas de sus sociedades. ¿Quién ganará este duelo literario tan intenso y visceral?¿La precisión quirúrgica y el murmullo devastador de Lídia Jorge o la fuerza naturalista y demoledora de Emilia Pardo Bazán? Hoy no solo juegan dos selecciones… hoy chocandos formas de mirar la realidad sin piedad.

In 1989, Jean Napier-Hattingh hung mid-water off a reef 20km out from the Mozambique coast with a 1 metre speargun and shot a dogtooth tuna the same size as she was. It dragged her until her mask and snorkel came off. They had to cut it into four pieces to weigh it on a 20kg scale. It was 52 kilos — a men's world record she had no idea she'd broken, and a women's international bluewater record that still stands today. Jean spent a year in hospital as a seven-year-old being told she might not walk again, decided she'd live the most adventurous life on Earth, and has spent forty years backing that up: a 138kg marlin landed solo on a 1.2m gun with a rusty spear, a 26kg barracuda world record in Sierra Leone she also didn't know about, and a wrist full of silver bangles that accidentally invented the flasher. She talks about being laughed off boats in a sport that had no place for women, why patience beats strength on big fish, and how she hunts each game fish species differently. For anyone who thinks you need a big gun and big lungs to shoot big fish, and for every woman wondering whether there's room for her out there.

Son nom n'est désormais connu que des plus anciens, mais à Soweto, le Club Pelican était, dans les années 1970, un endroit incontournable pour ceux qui aimaient la musique et la fête. En plein apartheid, ce night-club, l'un des premiers du genre dans le township, offrait un espace afin de décompresser, faisant fi des lois de ségrégation, et permettait à des populations quotidiennement séparées de se croiser, le temps d'une soirée. De notre correspondante à Johannesburg, Il ne reste plus que l'enseigne couverte de rouille sur la façade délabrée pour deviner que c'est ici, derrière les rails de chemin de fer, non loin du stade d'Orlando, que se trouvait l'un des lieux mythiques de Soweto pour faire la fête. Le Club Pelican, premier night-club du township, était une scène incontournable pour tous les musiciens, et c'est là que le saxophoniste Khaya Mahlangu a fait ses premières armes. « Le club était tout petit, se rappelle-t-il, seule la section rythmique pouvait tenir sur scène. Les cuivres étaient dans un coin, mais si on était quatre ou cinq, on se retrouvait à jouer collés aux tables du premier rang. » Lieu de choix, à l'époque, pour écouter de la musique live, du jazz au funk en passant par la soul, le Club Pelican a attiré beaucoup de grands noms mais a aussi permis de former nombre de musiciens en devenir. « C'était une institution, poursuit Khaya Mahlangu. Les plus jeunes venaient jouer lorsque l'orchestre résident faisait une pause. On a appris à la dure là-bas, si on n'arrivait pas à suivre les changements d'accords, on nous criait dessus : "Mec, tu n'entends pas la mélodie ou quoi ?". Et c'est aussi là que tous les musiciens de passage venaient, après avoir joué leur concert, car il y avait une grande culture de faire des bœufs. »  À lire aussiLes archives étonnantes sur les «années cachées» de la musique sud-africaine [2/3] Un endroit unique La boîte de nuit a été ouverte par les frères Michaels : Lucky, et sa personnalité très charismatique, aujourd'hui décédé ; et Leo, qui gérait l'établissement avec lui. « C'était l'un des premiers clubs multiraciaux d'Afrique du Sud, se rappelle Leo. Vous savez que le pays était très ségrégué à l'époque, et nous, nous avions des personnes blanches qui venaient même si c'était interdit pour elles de se rendre à Soweto. Cet endroit était vraiment unique. » C'est après avoir découvert des boîtes du Mozambique, avec des noms comme Flamingo, que les frères Michaels ont opté pour Pelican. L'établissement vendait illégalement de l'alcool et offrait aux habitants un rare espace de liberté. « On pouvait y aller pour échapper un peu à la pression de l'apartheid, pointe l'ancien propriétaire du club. Cela attirait des gens de tous horizons, des docteurs, des avocats, mais aussi de simples passants. La police faisait souvent des descentes, et on se retrouvait derrière les barreaux. Mais on payait une amende, et ensuite on recommençait comme avant. » Le Club Pelican a finalement fermé ses portes dans les années 1980, avec la montée des violences dans le township. Mais sa bande-son peut toujours s'écouter grâce à une compilation éditée par le label Matsuli Music. À lire aussiHistoire de la nuit africaine: l'African Jazz Village, lieu mythique de l'éthio-jazz

Light language practitioner Althea Lucrezia Avanzo explores her channeling of Pleiadian and mantis beings, the awakening of starseeds, and the physical Grey alien encounter that transformed her understanding of multidimensional reality in episode 257 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Althea Lucrezia Avanzo is a multidimensional teacher, energy worker, and global grid worker who trains others in psychic development, spiritual protection, Akashic clearing, and sovereign contact with higher consciousness. Through private sessions, online programs, retreats, and collective activations, she draws on years of astral work, past-life recall, and direct encounters with non-human intelligences to help others navigate awakening and energetic transformation.In this conversation, Althea and Faust explore why spiritual awakening begins with unlearning the conditioning that keeps people trapped in fear, external validation, and victimhood. Althea connects shadow work and higher-self integration to personal sovereignty, arguing that expanded perception means little without the discernment to navigate unseen influences and extraordinary experiences. As the discussion turns to Atlantis, the rise of AI and transhumanism, and accelerating UFO disclosure, they consider whether humanity can evolve with technology without surrendering the consciousness needed to remain free.In this episode:• Danny Goler's DMT Laser Experiment: Could the mysterious script seen under infrared light connect light language with Dr. Zach Bush's claims about Egyptian hieroglyphs and human biology?• The Grey Alien Beside Her Bed: What did a QHHT regression reveal about the three insectoid beings Althea says were probing her in Milan?• The Exorcist and Astral Exorcisms: How watching the horror classic at age nine became the beginning of astral battles with demonic and reptilian entities• Pleiadian Heart Codes and Mantis Technology: Why Althea connects one higher self to Lemuria and the other to the lost technology of Atlantis• Darryl Anka, Bashar, and Trance Channeling: Why Althea refuses to leave her body and the spiritual hygiene she says protects a sovereign channel• Mermaid Massacre and Manhattan Catacombs: What led Althea to clear a lost timeline in Mozambique and hundreds of trapped souls beneath New York City?• The Sovereignty Declaration Against Psyops: The rejection of false flags, military-grade psychological operations, and pre-contracted agreements that Althea says can affect the collective• Atlantean Karma, AI, and Transhumanism: Are we repeating the technological pattern Althea says destroyed an ancient civilization?• 2026 UFO Disclosure and the Starseed Awakening: Why Althea believes more ET experiencers are losing their fear of being seen• Live Light Language Psychic Surgery: The collective activation targeting the nervous system, cranial structure, and dormant memory that listeners can experience for themselvesDon't miss Althea's powerful light language transmission at the end of the episode, intended to clear old patterns, support energetic integration, and let listeners experience the work for themselves.Watch our episode with Danny GolerDMT Dimensions: It's Not a Hallucinationhttps://youtu.be/crNbmIJqwiYWatch our episode with William HenrySaddam's Stargate, Anunnaki Artifacts & the Ark of the Covenanthttps://youtu.be/-SpkaDuXeAIConnect with Althea Lucreziahttps://www.althealucrezia.com/https://www.facebook.com/lightcodesbyalahttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKjxsD8Yj3hT3bKwswTPi6Ahttps://www.instagram.com/lightcodesbyala/Join us on PatreonFor uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access:https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on socialhttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://x.com/faustchechohttps://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustQUESTION THE ANSWERS™we'd love to hear from you

Be sure to check out the grand finale of our Eco-Justice and Climate Action Mini Series! Throughout the last few months, we've explored everything from outdoor education in Canada, to a global storytelling initiative, to resilience building in coastal island communities, and more. Today, Joe and Blane explore the story behind “Crystallizing Territorial Visions and Claims: Critical Mapping with Amazonian Kichwa Communities in Climate Change. We are joined by authors Anke and Maritza, and co-investigator, Bequer Tuanama, from San Martin, Peru. The interview is bilingual, Spanish and English, with translations. The episode is full of meaningful reflections, candid anecdotes about the process, and a deeper look at their research project. Enjoy!The team begins by tracing how the partnership with Kichwa communities in San Martin, Peru came into being, and was built from existing relationships [3:13]. This leads into a discussion of critical mapping itself, and how a participatory research tool gradually became something more [5:57], providing a space for collective reflection, negotiation, and the reimagining of territorial claims in the face of state-led conservation efforts. The power dynamics involved and their negotiations are very insightful [10:32]. Afterwards, the team walks us through what the mapping process actually looked like, and the connection between mapping territory and climate action, using stories, timelines, and imagery of non-human beings which were included, beyond geographic boundaries [14:00]. The team then shares some of emergent practises from collaborating with a diverse group of collaborators on the project, including different layers of knowledge on map, as well as a vision for the territory in the future, along with practical challenges of the logistics of budgeting, transportation, bringing in elders and women, and providing an intercultural approach to the work [22:56]. The episode closes with learning and outcomes from the project, from the universities changing their approach to action research and impact, how mapping is an important tool of dialogue and collaboration across different sectors, bringing women's voice to the forefront, and engaging different levels, particularly for communicating with the state [35:04].Thank you Anke, Maritza, and Bequer for sharing your work with us in this episode.Thank you to our listeners for tuning in to this episode of the Action Research Podcast, created by Joe Levitan, Adam Stieglitz, Shikha Diwakar, Cory Legassic, and Vanessa Gold.Produced by Shikha Diwakar and Vanja Lugonjic.Subscribe to our podcast on most major podcast distribution platforms, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.How have you found yourself in the world of action research?

Host Larry Weishuhn welcomes Dr. Mike Arnold, a geneticist and well seasoned outdoorsman, to discuss his recent hunting adventures in Africa. Mike shares that he maximizes his transatlantic flights by booking mini-safaris to hunt multiple species across diverse terrains. Mike began his trip in Johannesburg before heading to the Great Karoo, a high-desert region sitting at 6,000 to 6,500 feet in elevation. He hunted on a newly organized 50,000-acre property divided into a 28,000-acre low-fenced area and a 20,000-acre high-fenced area used to protect white rhinos from poachers. His targets were the Bontebok and its closely related subspecies, the Blessbok, both of which were historically driven to near extinction by farmers but saved through agricultural game-farming systems. Mike noted that both species were highly flighty and challenging to stalk, comparing their behavior to North American Pronghorn antelope. He successfully harvested a beautiful Bontebok ram at 250 yards, and after missing two initial shots, harvested a Blessbok at the same distance. The high-elevation terrain was unseasonably cold, and the hunters were snowed on while pursuing game in the higher mountain property. Mike traveled higher into the Stormberg area for a bird hunt commissioned by Diana Rupp for Sports Afield magazine. Using a Fausti shotgun, he targeted Greywing partridge, Guineafowl, and Snipe. The Greywing population was surprisingly sparse, which locals attributed to a recent fungal infection. The wild Guineafowl proved to be incredibly fast runners, requiring a spot-and-stalk hunting approach to flush them out. Snipe hunting in the marshes was extremely difficult because the birds fly only a few feet off the ground, though Mike eventually harvested a female after two missed shots. Despite his wife Frances initially forbidding more taxidermy in the house, they agreed to commission a full-body mount of the snipe. The couple then flew to Coutada 11 in Mozambique, an area characterized by massive conservation successes, including hyena reintroductions and a lion population that grew from 24 to 100 individuals. At Frances's request, Mike embarked on a "community buffalo" hunt to provide meat for a local village. This was a "reverse trophy hunt" where hunters pay to harvest an old, non-exportable Cape buffalo bull solely to feed the community. After a grueling 10-hour track through woods and crocodile-infested marshes, Mike successfully shot the buffalo at 178 yards using a .416 Rigby CZ bolt-action rifle. Mike also hunted a Crawshay's zebra, a unique plains zebra noted for having stripes that go all the way down to its hooves and an asymmetrical backline. He harvested the zebra at 65 yards using his guide's custom .338-06 rifle loaded with Hornady ELD-X bullets. Frances requested the zebra be made into a flat skin rather than a traditional rug with a felt backing to avoid tripping on it in their bedroom. Mike is gathering material for his upcoming book focusing on hunters who have helped bring species back from the brink of extinction. He has two remaining hunts for the book: an Arctic snowmobile hunt for muskox and a hunt for chamois in Spain.

Magical Mozambique by Radio Islam

Le Royaume-Uni a confirmé des coupes budgétaires massives dans son aide au développement destinée à plusieurs pays africains, conséquence de la réduction progressive de l'effort d'aide de 0,5% à 0,3% du PIB d'ici 2027. Selon les détails publiés, le Mozambique, le Malawi, le Kenya et la Tanzanie verront leurs versements britanniques diminuer de 90% d'ici 2029, tandis que la Somalie et le Soudan du Sud subiront des réductions de près de 50%, malgré des contextes marqués par les conflits et les crises humanitaires. Comment expliquer cette décision ? À quel point les pays africains peuvent-ils en être impactés ? Londres avait promis de remplacer une partie de ces financements directs par une « assistance technique » via des ONG et des consultants. Ce système peut-il compenser les coupes budgétaires ? Avec Emeline Vin, correspondante de RFI à Londres.

Lobito, Tazara ou encore Beira et Nacala : les corridors ferroviaires se sont multipliés ces dernières années en Afrique australe. Leur objectif principal : permettre l'exportation et l'évacuation des minerais d'Afrique centrale. Ils sont cependant vantés pour leur capacité à apporter du développement dans les régions qu'ils traversent. Pourtant, ce n'est pas si simple : une étude de l'IFRI pointe des problématiques de gestion, des trajets concurrentiels ou encore des difficultés d'intégration. Thierry Vircoulon, chercheur associé à l'Institut français des relations internationales (Ifri), évoque l'« économie politique complexe » des corridors ferroviaires africains. Ces voies ferrées traversent différents pays et administrations, qui peinent parfois à se coordonner. « Dans la plupart des cas, ces organisations de gestion des corridors sont soit créées très tardivement, soit pas vraiment staffées. Elles ont vraiment des tout petits moyens, et dans certains cas même, elles n'existent pas. Il y a des corridors qui n'ont toujours pas d'organisme de gestion mutuelle », détaille-t-il. Exemple du pont de Kazungula, qui permet le passage du Botswana à la Zambie : c'est l'un des tronçons importants du corridor entre Durban et Lubumbashi. Il a été inauguré en 2021. Les présidents ont créé l'autorité commune de gestion du pont cette année. Ces corridors reçoivent des soutiens financiers de pays en concurrence sur les marchés internationaux des minerais critiques. Et si la multiplication de ces voies de connexion devait être positive pour le commerce africain, l'équation n'est pas si simple, selon l'auteur de l'étude : « Le raisonnement, c'était de dire que le port de Durban était saturé. Mais ce qu'il faut bien voir, c'est que tous les corridors n'ont pas le même prix. Le coût de transport n'est pas le même. Ce seront les corridors les moins chers qui deviendront les plus rentables et qui capteront évidemment l'essentiel du fret. Ce qui veut dire que pour les autres corridors, ce sera une perte financière et qu'ils deviendront beaucoup moins rentables. » Les politiques vantent l'apport économique, notamment pour les régions agricoles, qu'apporteraient ces voies ferroviaires. C'est ce qui a encore été mis en avant récemment dans le cas du corridor de Lobito. Cependant, au Mozambique, les corridors de Beira et Nacala n'ont pas permis l'explosion agro-industrielle tant vantée. Natacha Ribeiro, professeur à l'université Eduardo Mondlane de Maputo, explique : « Il n'y a aucun investissement de la part du gouvernement pour passer d'un niveau de production de subsistance à des niveaux plus commerciaux. Il y a eu des projets par le passé comme le projet d'irrigation de la Banque mondiale.» « Mais cela a été mis en place sans tenir compte des chaînes de valeur. Les communautés ont produit des denrées, mais comme il n'y avait pas de lien avec le marché, il y a eu un goulot d'étranglement. Je dirais donc que nous pourrions faire mieux », poursuit la chercheuse spécialiste des questions agricoles et des communautés rurales. Ces corridors permettent de gagner en prévisibilité et en temps de transport pour les marchandises. Un travail est cependant encore nécessaire pour assurer l'intégration des économies traversées par le rail. À lire aussiUn pont sur le Zambèze désenclave l'Afrique australe

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as "food stamps," SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X: https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Dream the Size of Freedom: How African Liberation Mobilized New Left Internationalism (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2025) by Dr. R. Joseph Parrott explores how anti-colonial movements in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau reshaped US activist engagement with the Global South from the 1960s through the 1970s and influenced American foreign policy as the Vietnam War drew to a close. These Portuguese African liberation movements, led by nationalists like Eduardo Mondlane and Amílcar Cabral, built global solidarity networks to support their military and social challenges to empire while defending against Western intervention. US activists disillusioned with the Cold War came to see African self-determination as central to global campaigns for racial and economic justice. A broad coalition ranging from Black Power radicals to religious liberals mobilized against the North Atlantic alliance with Portugal. In the process, this grassroots movement helped define a New Left Internationalism that championed decentralized, multiracial organizing and a collaborative vision of US foreign policy to redress historic inequalities between Global North and South. Drawing on more than fifty oral histories and research in government and activist archives on three continents in English, Portuguese, French, and Afrikaans, Dr. Parrott reconstructs the transnational anti-imperial network that injected Global South priorities into US political debates. Popular protests and informational campaigns led to collaborations with legislators eager to constrain the powerful executive branch. In 1976, this grassroots-legislative alliance halted Gerald Ford's anti-communist intervention against the Soviet-backed government of newly independent Angola. This victory of New Left Internationalist ideas anticipated future anti-apartheid and Latin American peace movements while also fueling a conservative revival of Cold War containment. By exploring US engagement with the contested process of African decolonization, Dream the Size of Freedom highlights the origins of two contrasting visions of American foreign policy that defined debates over the country's proper role in the Global South into the 1990s. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The clean, six-ingredient cookie dough sold out at Erewhon within days of launch and you can now find Doughy in Whole Foods, Target, and Costco nationwide.Millions of pounds of cookie dough are sold each year but here's the incredible part: Kelly is still the only full-time employee.We get into how scrappy events and a manufacturing background prepared her for the chaos of building a food brand, why hundreds of failed recipes led her to cashews as the base ingredient, and the surprising origin story of the chocolate chip cookie itself. Kelly walks us through sourcing cashews from a farmer in Mozambique and maple syrup from Vermont, why she still hands out samples herself, and what it actually took to land the product in 2,300 stores nationwide. If you've ever wondered what it means to "bleed" for your company, this is it.// MORE FROM DOUGHY //You can purchase Doughy at eatdoughy.com or at Whole Food, Target, Erewhon, and Costco.Follow @eatdoughy on Instagram and @doughy on TikTok.// SPONSORS // Ritual: Save 25% on your first month at Ritual dot com slash FOSTER.

As China's political and economic presence across Africa continues to expand, what does it mean for the people living through these changes? On this episode of Africa Today, host Walter Turner speaks with Dr. Anita Plummer, assistant professor of African Studies at Howard University, about China's engagement across the continent, African political economy, and the perspectives of communities navigating shifting global relationships. Drawing on years of research in Kenya, South Africa, Mozambique, Senegal, and China, Plummer explores how ordinary Africans understand and respond to China's growing role in Africa, and what these developments reveal about power, development, and international relations.   A weekly news program providing information and analysis about Africa and the African Diaspora, hosted by Walter Turner.

In this episode of Truth For The Youth, host Faith Epperson welcomes Christiana Denae to share how God transformed her through a recent mission trip to Mozambique. Christiana reflects on sharing the gospel across language barriers, witnessing lives changed by the simple truth of Jesus Christ, and learning to trust God beyond her comfort zone. She also recounts the challenges of traveling to remote islands and how Scripture strengthened her team every step of the way. Be encouraged to boldly follow God's calling and remember that He can use anyone willing to take the first step in faith.

Joseph von Benedict returns to the show for a deep dive into one of his favorite classic cartridges: the 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser (aka the 6.5 Swede). Joseph shares a few hunting stories involving the cartridge from Mozambique, New Zealand, and even a giant roe deer in Spain. They break down the cartridge's rich history and Olympic pedigree, why it's still winning fans more than 126 years after its introduction, and how modern handloads and bullets can push the 6.5×55 to near 6.5 PRC performance. If you appreciate classic cartridges that still deliver serious performance with the right loads and shot placement, you'll love this conversation.

How many maize seeds should farmers plant in each hole? Ask the farmers and they say two or three. Agronomists can show them more reliable seeds, where they only need one. But change the seed and everything else changes too; the fertiliser, the spacing, the whole system. This is why getting better technology into the hands of African farmers, and helping them to find ways to improve their profits, is so much harder than it looks.Rachid Laajaj (Universidad de los Andes) and Karen Macours (Paris School of Economics) tell Tim Phillips about an experiment in Kenya in which farmers ran trial plots on their own land for three seasons, comparing input combinations side by side, and were followed for five seasons more.Farmers adopted the new inputs and their profits fell. But they kept experimenting anyway, season after season, until the losses became gains. The most skilled farmers went first, made the most mistakes, and paid the highest price; their neighbours watched, copied, and adopted at a fraction of the cost.Each failed attempt costs a farmer a season. Lower that cost, Laajaj and Macours argue, and you change what is possible for millions of farming households.The research behind this episode:Laajaj, Rachid, and Karen Macours. 2026. "The Complexity of Multidimensional Learning in Agriculture." Econometrica 94 (2): 465-503. To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Rachid Laajaj, and Karen Macours. 2026. "Why farmers struggle to adopt new agricultural technology" VoxDev Talks (podcast). About the guestsRachid Laajaj is Associate Professor of Economics at Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, with research spanning technology adoption in agriculture, corruption, and human capital, studied from a micro-development perspective with particular attention to the role of information. He received his PhD in Agricultural and Applied Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.Karen Macours is a professor at the Paris School of Economics, a senior researcher at INRAE, and a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research in the Development Economics programme. Her research spans agricultural productivity, rural poverty, social programmes, and early childhood development. She chairs the Standing Panel on Impact Assessment of the CGIAR and is co-editor of the Journal of Development Economics.Research and concepts cited in this episodeThe trials. In 48 randomly selected villages in Kenya, ten farmers per village were invited to run a three-season agronomic trial on a small parcel of their own land, guided by an agronomist. Each trial plot was divided into six subplots; five tested different combinations of modern inputs and one served as a control. The trials occupied a tiny share of each farm, so the direct economic effect was negligible; the point was the opportunity to learn. A further 48 villages served as controls, giving a sample of 960 farmers followed across six seasons of data collection.Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM). The input combinations tested in the trials followed ISFM principles; a sustainable intensification approach that combines improved seed with mineral fertiliser and organic inputs, adapted to local conditions. Its logic is precisely the multidimensionality the paper studies; the components work through their combination, not in isolation.The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) provided the agronomists who guided farmers through the trials. The paper builds on joint work with IITA.The target-input model. The workhorse theory of learning in agriculture, in which farmers learn the optimal quantity of a single input through experience; it dates to work by Foster and Rosenzweig in 1995 and underlies much of the literature on social learning, including Conley and Udry's study of pineapple farmers in Ghana. Laajaj and Macours extend it to many interdependent inputs, where adopting one requires re-optimising the others; what Laajaj calls the curse of multidimensionality.Measuring farmer skills. The origin of this project; Laajaj and Macours spent years developing measures of farmers' cognitive, non-cognitive, and technical skills, work that circulated as CEPR Discussion Paper 13271, "Measuring Skills in Developing Countries" (gated). Asking farmers agronomic questions revealed that many had no single right answer; the answer depended on everything else the farmer was doing.Employment in agriculture. Macours notes in the episode that agriculture accounts for half of employment in sub-Saharan Africa, rising to as much as two-thirds when the wider agro-food sector is included.Conservation agriculture. A prominent example of a knowledge-intensive sustainable practice; it combines minimal tillage, crop rotation, and the retention of crop residues, so a farmer must learn several new practices at once and find a combination that works.More VoxDev Talks episodesAfrican agriculture's underappreciated supply side.

It's Friday, July 3rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Ethiopian Christian convert from Islam attacked and forced to flee As a child in Gawo Kebe, Ethiopia, Taha Dinka faithfully attended the mosque and adhered to his community's Islamic beliefs. He never imagined his life would ever take a different direction, reports International Christian Concern. In 2019, Dinka heard the Gospel and decided to follow Jesus. He said, “When I accepted Christ, I felt peace in my life. I believed God had rescued me from darkness.”   However, the decision that brought him hope also opened the door for rejection, threats, and persecution. Soon after his conversion, Dinka began facing strong opposition from those closest to him because of his faith in Christ.    Dinka said, “People I loved turned against me, and some even told me I had betrayed my family and my religion. Others warned me that I would suffer or die if I continued following Christ.”   Christian converts from Islam in Muslim-majority areas often face violence and even death threats. In August 2025, Dinka said, “I was violently attacked and forcefully removed from my home because I had refused to renounce Christianity. The attacks left me injured and traumatized. I was beaten because I would not deny Jesus. At that moment, I realized my life was truly in danger.”  He was forced to flee in search of safety. In Matthew 10:22, Jesus said, "You will be hated by everyone because of Me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.” House Speaker Johnson puts SAVE Act in budget reconciliation bill Here in the United States, On Wednesday. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is aiming to push the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE America Act, through a third budget reconciliation bill, reports NewsNation. Johnson's remarks came shortly after President Trump canceled a signing ceremony for a sweeping bipartisan housing package, saying he will not sign the legislation until the Senate passes the voter ID bill. The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and the presentation of an ID to cast a ballot. The bill passed the House, but has stalled in the Senate, where Democrats have vowed to oppose it, leaving it short of the votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Senate Republican Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota has repeatedly dismissed Trump's calls to eliminate or reform the filibuster in order to pass the bill. Johnson talked to the president about adding the SAVE America Act to the National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA so that the entire bill including the funding of the troops and the SAVE America Act would only need a simple majority vote.  Here's Speaker Johnson at the Wednesday press conference. JOHNSON: “The SAVE America Act, as passed in February unanimously by all Republicans -- and that's components of the proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID when you show up to vote, that will be merged onto the [National Defense Authorization Act] and transmitted to the Senate as one bill. That's the most efficient, effective way to do it.” Call your two Senators at 202-224-3121 and urge them, whether they are Democrat or Republican, to support the National Defense Authorization Act which has the SAVE America Act added to it. Clarence Thomas: Birthright citizenship devalues what it means to be American citizen In a lengthy dissent, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas took the majority to task for interpreting the Constitution to mean that citizenship is automatically conferred on anyone born in the United States, regardless of the legal status of the parents, Thomas argued that the ruling “devalues” what it means to be an American citizen. In the 6-3 decision on June 30th, the majority held that an executive order President Donald Trump issued on the first day of his second term violated the Constitution. The order directed that only children born on American soil to legal residents are automatically citizens of the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment states, in part, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” In his dissent, Thomas, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch, noted as Trump previously argued, that the Fourteenth Amendment was passed in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. It was in direct response to the Dred Scott v. Sandford Supreme Court decision of 1857, which held that blacks were not citizens. Thomas wrote, “Both the Civil Rights Act [of 1866] and the Citizenship Clause [of the Fourteenth Amendment] guaranteed citizenship to persons born and domiciled in the United States regardless of their race. Neither guaranteed citizenship to persons who were not domiciled in the United States.” He added, “Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were Americans. They had no other homeland, owed no allegiance to any foreign power, and were subject to no other authority,” Under Trump's proposal, birthright citizenship would be limited to those with at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Babies born to temporary visitors or people who entered the country illegally would not be citizens at birth, reports NBC News. Young Washington movie in theaters tonight On the cusp of America's 250th birthday tomorrow, Angel Studios* and Wonder Project release the movie “Young Washington” nationwide tonight. Watch the trailer. It follows the early life of George Washington as he transforms from an ambitious, awkward youth into a military commander. Facing class barriers, he secures a job surveying the Ohio Valley, only to stumble into the bloody triggers of the French and Indian War. Directed by Jon Erwin, who also produced the House of David TV series, the historical drama explores Washington's steep climb into Virginia's upper crust. William Franklyn-Miller, the 22-year-old British actor, portrays George Washington, Ben Kingsley portrays Robert Dinwiddie, and Kelsey Grammer portrays Thomas Fairfax. When setbacks shake George's faith in a kind, loving God, he gets angry. He tells his mother, “Providence placed me here. Why? For me to fail?” Focus on the Family says that Mary Washington, George's mother, serves up one of the movie's best lines. She says, “Failure is the tutor sent by God. If you don't learn from it, you fail twice. If you do learn from it, you've earned wisdom.” After George improbably survives a disastrous battle, a Native American chief—one who fought alongside the French—demands to meet George. His own warriors had George in their sights repeatedly. He claims they “never miss.” And yet, somehow, George stands before him, uninjured. The Indian chief tells him, “The Creator chose you. You have been shielded by the Spirit.” (Get the booklet entitled The Bulletproof George Washington by David Barton) Shortly thereafter, George shows up in Virginia Lt. Gov. Robert Dinwiddie's office with a bullet hole in his hat and a well-earned reputation for surviving impossible situations. Listen to the scene from the “Young Washington” movie. DINWIDDIE: “What happened, Washington? All those bullet holes in your jacket? How are you alive?” WASHINGTON: “I don't know.” Proverbs 16:9 says, "A man's heart plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps". The movie, Young Washington, dramatizes the events leading up to the French and Indian War, including the war's initial bloody triggers. PluggedIn.com warns that the film is not suitable for young children because there's plenty of fighting, shooting and chopping. And while none of it is particularly bloody or gory, it may come as a shock for those expecting a gentler “Christian” film. *Note: Angel Studios is owned by the Mormons also known as the “Church” of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Worldview cautions our listeners to remember that Mormons teach a false gospel and an unbiblical worldview.

Cetshwayo had sought refuge in Nkandla as his arch enemy, Zibhebhu, turned his attention to the royalists living along the Zululand Coastal plain. Soon Somkhele of the Mphukunyoni and the emaNgweni people were hiding in the swamps and reed-beds of the sub-tropical bush along the Indian Ocean. Melmoth Osborne was the resident commissioner of Zululand and a committed foe of Cetshwayo's royal line, a supporter of Zibhebhu. As Cetshwayo waited for the civil war to die down, he came to the conclusion that it was imperative to convince Melmoth of his right to rule. It was time to come out of hiding and to seek shelter from the commissioner — which he did under Henry Francis Fynn's junior's escort in October 1883. Cetshwayo was placed in a small house alongside his father's old kwaGqikazi homestead where he could contemplate how far he'd fallen. There he remained until 8th February 1884. Had he lived longer, he would have heard that his old Nduna and councillor, Mnyamana, had escaped with his life after being poisoned. The Zulu king was another going to be so fortunate. Shortly after he ate, at 2.30 pm on 8th February, he was overtaken by convulsions, then he collapsed and died a short while later. His family members refused permission for a post-morten, surgeon Scott declared the death had been caused by heart disease. However, historians know the truth - Cetshwayo had most likely been poisoned - placed either in his beer, or his snuff. While it's not known what poison was used, my research into the symptoms and passage of death points to Erythrophleum lasianthum, commonly known as the Swazi ordeal tree, is a medium to large leguminous tree native to southern Africa. It is notable for its exceptionally toxic bark and seeds, traditional cultural significance, and ecological value as a component of woodlands and forests across parts of South Africa, Eswatini and Mozambique. All parts of the tree—especially the bark, seeds, and roots—contain powerful alkaloids and cardiac toxins. Historically, extracts from the bark were used in ordeal poison practices in parts of southern Africa, giving rise to the common name "ordeal tree." The tree has also been used in traditional medicine, but these practices carry substantial risk because the difference between a toxic and potentially therapeutic dose is extremely small. Symptoms of poisoning can include vomiting, tremors, irregular heartbeat, seizures, respiratory failure, and death. The second option is Boophone disticha — a bulb known across southern Africa for centuries and Zulu herbalists were fully aware of its toxicity. Every part of the plant—especially the bulb—contains powerful Amaryllidaceae alkaloids and is highly poisonous to people, livestock, and pets. Traditional healers have employed carefully prepared doses for medicinal and ceremonial purposes but like the Swazi Ordeal Tree, there is a tight margin between a traditional dose and a dangerous one. Exposure to flowers in confined spaces alone causes eye irritation or headaches, giving rise to the common name sore-eye flower. Still, this bulb is highly sought after by modern collectors because of the bulb's beauty. Just wash your hands after fiddling with it, folks. A third possibility is the Acokanthera which causes death through cerebral hypoxia, and a fourth, poison beans, the species of Abrus precatorius in particular — but those can take days to kill you and Cetshwayo perished in an hour or two. Zibhebhu was immediately blamed and he would pay eventually for his actions. But first, the king had to be buried. First he was placed in a sitting position and tied to his hut's central post. The building was sealed with clay and mud so that no smell could emerge and Cetshwayo's body was left there for a few weeks to putrefy. The royal attendants asked Melmoth Osborne for permission to take the body to the emaKhosini valley so he could be buried with his ancestors, but the commissioner refused.
